We love getting packages. I have a daily routine of walking to the post office at lunch to check our mail. I love seeing the little white slip in our box telling me we have a package. We especially loved receiving our packages at Christmas. Since we were away for Christmas and had some bad weather, we didn’t receive our Christmas packages until New Years Eve. But, opening our Christmas gifts from home ended up being a great way to start our New Year’s Eve celebration.

We got lots of stuff that we needed like cozy sweaters, gloves, warm running gear. They also sent super helpful things like travel guides, which we can’t wait to put to use!

We did receive lots of fun, useful gifts but we really just loved getting a little piece of home and the loving words of our family. Like this card. This card made me smile!
